The car speeds past the pedestrians walking across the street
When did life become unwelcomed?
The public schools around the Banc of California Stadium are low in funding. Kids in hoodies with old text books and underpaid teachers make their way through the heavy traffic on buses and in cars.
When did the prosperity of life become selective?
The grass, the trees, the flowers, bloom through the cement cracks.And an inner city scholar, bound for college likens this image to their life.
when did creating unnecessary struggles for life become useful?

An older woman with a grey sweatshirt and three bags is sitting on the steps of a gym while the security guard tells her “you cannot be here” . While a few feet from her, a young man taking a lunch break finishes his sandwich.
“When did life become unwelcomed” I hear the pigeons above her sing, as they try to perch over the clear spikes
their song nesting deep within my mind
